Forthcoming: Engagement with news on Twitter, insights from Australia and Korea

The journal article: Engagement with News on Twitter: Insights from Australia and Korea, has been accepted for publication in the Asian Journal of Communication's special issue on Introducing Computational Social Science for Asia-Pacific Communication Research.

Using data from Twitter, the study examines the patterns of news engagement with political stories, through a cross-country comparision of six online news sources in Australia and South Korea.

Compared with their left-wing counterparts, right-wing Australian retweeters were found to be more intense in their news engagement and to have more diverse information sources, whereas in South Korea the behaviour was opposite.
